    But seriously I don't like that mentality.Jermain is basically acknowledging his problem.That's not good.Many times that leads to even worse.
    Yes, it's a big concern of mine. Taylor has his problems and his stamina is only one of them. Left hand low, ****s his right hand, backing up to the ropes, etc. He's probably my favorite fighter, edging out Kessler; I'll support him to the end.

    I'm picking Abraham btw. Go with your head, not with your heart.

      I promised I wouldn't be in this situation again, picking Taylor I mean. But I'm a goddam fool and I'm picking him.

        Well he had a god run.

        Still he can beat Ward.Maybe even Kessler.

          I still think Taylor could win, but it'll have to be as close to a perfect performance as it gets, assuming his stamina is as good as he's claiming now. I'm still not trying to get that hyped about it--been let down too much.

          I think Ward is the sleeper in this. But that's just me.

            Taylor can still do it.Just needs to somehow paec himself better.Maybe he adjusted to the weight more.

            And yeah I agree Ward is my pick to be the new star altough not winning this.

            Dirrell will fail.

              I've gone back and forth over the Dirrell-Froch fight so much, I just wanna see it.

              Dirrell has a lot of raw natural ability but he's never been tested. Should he manage to beat Froch, especially in a gruelling fight, a lot of people will change their views on him.

                He's way to sloppy ofesively with a bad defense and questionable everything from power to chin to stamian nad everything else.

                I don't see anything great in him.But that's just my opinion.

                On the other hand I think Ward will amount to something beautiful.

                  I'd see where you'd say that. IMO he's raw and needs to molded the right way. That's why this first fight is so important to him--it's a baptism by fire.

                  I agree. The only thing I see Ward lacking is power. He will surprise many, many people.

                  If he can manage to negate, counter, or slip Kessler's jab for twelve rounds, watch out for the upset.
